About
A young brother and sister return to their family's mansion with their older brother. They all know their family's history: that their ancestors had resorted to piracy to survive-and family legend has it that there's hidden pirate's treasure, and lost "luck," hidden somewhere in the mansion. With barely enough money to carry on, they seek the "luck" of the family, knowing neither what it is nor where it is.
Their precarious situation is worsened by the appearance of a rival claimant who asserts legal rights to the property. And there's the mysterious young boy living in the swamps who also seems to be looking for something on their land. But despite these challenges, they're certain that the "luck" will restore their fortunes.
Ralestone Luck, written circa 1930, is the first book Andre Norton wrote, but the second one she actually published. It was first published in 1938.
Perfect for readers who love treasure hunting adventures and atmospheric Southern Gothic tales! Norton masterfully weaves family loyalty, mysterious legacies, and the haunting allure of hidden pirate gold into an unforgettable story that will keep you guessing until the final page. If you enjoy stories where the past holds dangerous secrets and family bonds are tested by both fortune and peril, this captivating tale of the Ralestone family's desperate search for their lost luck is exactly what you've been looking for.
